I am not saying to press charges for this driver driving "traffic speed"but... if the law needs to understand that the accepted deviation of the law is a contributing factor to decreases safety on the streets

Regardless of the cause of this crash, you should be calling for stricter enforcement of the actual speed limit, and not just traffic speed. The likelihood of sever injury or death of a cyclist or pedestrian goes up dramatically between 25mph and 35mph. Most DC roads are 25mph speed limit. The problem is most of the roads are also designed for a much higher speed. Your own street was a great example of that. Have you noticed drivers slowing at all when the lanes were narrowed due to the bike lanes?
